Hi

I'm needing help on removing a pesky program that keeps opening IE and going to sites at random. It does this at random and sometimes when i open Mozilla FireFox. I Currently have AVG anti-virus Software running and update to date. Each time i run the AVG scanner it finds about 10-15 trojan viruses and mal-ware programs. The computer i'm having this problem on is actually a work computer that my boss has been using. I'm Unsure of what he's been doing on the computer and i don't care to know lol. Any help i can get on fixing this would be grateful.

The company i work for is not a huge Business. Been going since 1973 with 6 Employee's total and its a welding shop. We have no IT departments or Secretary or even a working Refrigerator. This is not a Microsoft. And the computer was a old Home Computer.

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:
